Thanks Giving Dinner.

[3 stinky dogs]

The Family and I will be over at my Parents house this Year and I would like to bring something different then the normal table fare as a side dish. I am looking for something different and maby traditional. Any suggestions ?

I make a paste of pecans, cranberries and sweeten it to taste. Put equal amounts of shelled pecans and berries in a food processer and run it till you like the consistancy. Sweeten to taste. The tart from the berries and the smooth texture/oil and flavor of the pecans make a taste that you don't get anywhere else. In the summer I freeze it and eat it like ice cream. GC

I know it's not a side dish either, but we had Thanksgiving dinner early (Sat., 19th) to accomodate family members and (in addition to turkey) my wife made venison sauerbraten - superb! BTW, venison was on the menu at the original feast as well - can't get more traditional than that! One "side dish" I've always liked is creamed onions - another is acorn squash baked with maple syrup and butter.
Happy Thanksgving everyone - we've lots to be grateful for! :thumbsup:

Aggggh! Creamed onions. My father loved them and I had to choke them down when we were kids. My first husband, well, it was traditional. Second husband - (after me being -blissfully- 5 years creamed onionless) at Thanksgiving: "what, no creamed onions?" Putting it together with Eagle Claw (7 years after husband gone) - first Thanksgiving when I foolishly asked him "I suppose you want creamed onions?" Well, I won't tell you the answer, but sufice it to say, we have creamed onions! YUKKKKK! :rotf: :blah:
